overwhelmed, nothing

According to political scientist Andrew Dobsen, environmentalism fits all the hallmarks of an ideology and should therefore be treated on a par with other ideologies such as conservatism, liberalism or socialism. Like other ideologies, environmentalism offers an analytic description of society (eine analytische Beschreibung der Gesellschaft), assuming a definite and desirable form of society, with a set of programs for political action Sexual planning. [1] Michael Kenny also sees environmentalism as an ideology. But he also stressed that the Green Party (Grüne) rejected the concept.

Environmentalism is an ideology in political discourse that refers to all actions related to the preservation, restoration and improvement of the natural environment, such as natural resource conservation, pollution prevention and proper land use. Usually supports Indigenous people's struggle against globalization, although some things appear to be less environmentally damaging, such as against the spread of lifestyles.

The above are the definitions of environmentalism on Wikipedia and Baidu Baike respectively. For most ordinary people, environmentalism can be an act that is both familiar and foreign to us, reasonable and awkward. Because while the fear of doomsday is buried deep in our hearts, we deceive ourselves every day to be one of the murderers involved in and driving this process.

The protagonists of "Operation Night" are a group of seemingly mild environmentalists with extreme plans. The film does not leave us too much suspense from the beginning. Of course, director Kelly Reichardt (Kelly Reichardt) also does not. I didn't want to spend a whole movie to tell the whole process of the action, but the movie is divided into two parts, trying to show that this group of environmentalists as ordinary human beings, when faced with their own character flaws and human predicament, will how to react.

There is actually nothing wrong with this way of thinking, but in the gloomy and depressing atmosphere of "Operation Night" from beginning to end, Kelly Reichardt's attempt seems to be a baffling and helpless emptiness and blindness. The way the film is presented is quite minimalistic and restrained, even making people nervous and expecting to blow up the dam - this part that should be the climax of most films is only chosen with a distant and almost indistinguishable explosion. Performance.

In addition, not only Jesse Eisenberg (Jesse Eisenberg) plays the paranoid, suspicious, controlling but somewhat disappointing Josh, the image of several other protagonists in "Operation by Night" also appears There is a vague, obscure intention. Perhaps Kelly Reichardt intended to foreshadow the film's ending, to place them in a fragile and dangerous relationship. And this kind of intentional action is like the "night action" of several protagonists in the movie. It only has a purpose, but it can't get the result that you want.

Liberal David Friedman argues: "Environmentalism is an opinion, it's a religion, it's an aesthetic. The latter two can lead people to believe too much in the first." Most people will find that "Operation Night" is slow-paced and boring. Although Kelly Reichardt tries to express the misunderstandings that environmentalists are easy to enter, the most regrettable thing is that it neither arouses people's thinking about the motif of environmental protection, nor makes people aware of the predicament of human nature. How will it hurt our lives. Just like the last shot of the movie, we're probably getting nothing but overwhelmed.

    Reichardt's environment-human relationship is still maintained. Many times, the characters float above the environment and then attach to the plot. The result is that the characters that continue the image are separated between states; is this the theme of the film or the offset caused by the character processing? The ending seems abrupt, but it continues the inner character of the character as always, the more you think about it, the better. Some typing is also successful Jesse Eisenberg: faces are the entrance to actors

    The director's style is still a tranquilizer, a director who is personally very optimistic
